For those who wonder how to clean suede.. there are certain suede & nubuk cleaning erasers which have worked at least for me.
I've personally used Woly Schwamm and/or Collonil Nubuk Box which both work like charm by removing the dust and dirt from suede uppers, removing the shiny spots and making the suede more fluffy again. Nubuk Box is recommended especially for lighter colours. Other brands probably have their own versions of these erasers.
If the colour of the suede or nubuk has washed out/faded a bit over time, it's also recommended to use a color restore solution after cleaning. It will (or at least has done that with my supes) restore the original colour like the supes were brand new. At least Woly has this colour restore solution, Woly Velours Nubuk, in a handful of main colours like black, brown, dark blue and red, could be even more not sure. Other brands probably have their own ideas of this as well.
